NONEir-' MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. E There is little that is new to report in connection With the money market. No one who can wait and see the result of the Bank Court on Thursday next Will bring forward their bills for negotiation, be cause it is very probable that the rate for discount will be reduced one per cent. The market, there fore, remains exceedingly quiet, although the brokers, who have very large sums lying idle, are even willing to negotiate business in short dated securities at 8 per cent. The price for three months' Paper has declined to 81 and 8i per cent. ; but for all these concessions the public can only be induced to part with those securities for which they require immediate cash. A further sum of £20,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Messrs Dovey, Benjamin, and Co., connected with the trade of Brazil, have suspended payment. The failure is stated to have been caused through the late mercantile disturbance at Rio, and the assets, it is believed, will prove to be considerable, and the leas therefore entailed upon the estate small. Sub joined is a copy of the letter sent to the credito rs: — 6, Crosby-square, London, Nov. 7, 1864. It is with d eep regret we inform you that we have been compelled to suspend our payments. We had hoped, by the lirsailian mail just arrived, we should have received such in formation as would have obviated the necessity of our taking this step ; that, however, not being the case, regard for tho inter ests of o ur creditors leaves us no other alternative. e have accordingly placed our affsirs in the hands o f Qailter, Ball, and Co., who will investigate them, and r eport tha result to our creditors at a meeting, which Wi be con vened with all conven i ent d espa t c h. W e never els still entertain the hope that our suspension wilt be bat temporary. We are your most obedient servants, (Si gned) DOPEY, BENSAIIIN, AND CO, 11 Inc b urin (Signed) the l us t f ew days there has not been ~h ani mation in th e F ore i gn an d C o l on i a l Pro :nen Mark ets.

The opening meeting of the department of Jurisprudence and Amendment of the Law WAS held last night at the office of the society, 1, Adam-street, Adelphi. The chair was taken by the Right Hon.

The Queen walked and drove in the grounds this morning, accompaniend by her Royal High ness Princess Beatrice. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise went out, attended by Madlle. Her Royal H'ghnss Princess Helena rode in the Riding School. His 1 - tyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel the Hon. J. Macdonald, arrived at the Castle last evening, and accompanied the Duchess of Cambridge to London this morning. Mr G. M . HASTINGS, general secretary, then read an address from the standing committee, which in the first in stance alluded to the able address of Sir William Erle, Chief Justice et the Common Pleas, at the last meeting of the association, held at 'York in September last, upon the present condhion of English law, especially the absence of a digest of recorded decisions by the different equity and common law courts. It refert ed to the evils which at present ari-e from the want of an organisation of ,the profession throughout the country, and the want cf authority to cor rect the evils and irregularities which arise on various occa sions. The patent law was next alluded to, and it suggested that patent cases should be tried without a jury, but with the aid of scientifio men. The bankrupt law was next brought under consideration, and it was said that it now gave great dissatisfaction to the mercantile community, and referred to the opinion given by the committee which sat on the subject during the last session of Parliament. The in quiry was to be renewed in the next session, when it was hoped the difficulties surrounding the question would be re moved. The report, in conclusion, stated the present meet ing was called a week earlier than usual in order to have the honour of receiving their two distinguished visitors—one of whom was the most illustrious advocate of the French bar, and the other the official head of that bar. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in moving that the report be received and printed, said it called attention to many sub jects of the greatest interest and importance, and in a manner which would recommend them to the serious consideration of all who were called upon to deal with them practically. On this occasion he could not, of course, avoid giving exprcesion to his own feel ings, and the feelings of these around him, as to the in teresting circumstance which led to the assemblage of the members being so large. They certainly hoped to show M. Berryer to-morrow that th:, English bar was more numerous than anybody that could be contained in that room, which was devoted only to the delibera ions, in a private way, of a society whose object was the amendment of the law. He should not be surprised if M. Berryer saw one of the finest and most ancient of the halls in the metro polis as well filled to-morrow night by members of the bar as now was that room to which many were unable to ob tain admittance. He believed ho expressed the unanimous feeling of the profession when he said they were proud to and felt highly honoured by see h pr im es , en pr e o e u . d ( t c o h h e o e n rs o . u; him, The Duchees of Cambridge attended Divine eer vice at St. George's Chapel yesterday afternoon. Her Royal Highnees, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lieutenant-Colonel Cdtton, left the Castle this morning for London. Earl Granville also left the Castle. Return of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Royal yacht Osborne, Commander George H. K. Bower, having the Royal standard flying at the main, made her appearance off Woolwich Arse. nal yesterday, at a quarter before two p.m., having on board the Prince and Princess of Wales and suits on their return to England. The (Morrie sailed from Antwerp at noon on Sunday, and, with the exception of a slight gale which rose soon after midnight, the passage was calm and favourable. The yacht arrived and anchored off the Girder Light, near Ramsgate, at half-past two yesterday morning, and awaited the mid-day tide to proceed up the river. A notice to that effect was tele graphed to the authorities at Woolwich from Capt. Bower at an early hour in the morning. Captain Gordon, C. 8., superintendent of military stores, then gave orders for the preparation of the T pier, so that a landing might be made with comfort at low tide. The arrangements were admirably exe cuted, the lower platform steps and pier throughout being decorated with bunting and carpeted with clean tent cloths. The tide had begun to ebb, and the yacht, assisted by a couple of tugs from the dockyard, succeeded, after some little delay, in turning and facing the stream, and was brought up close alongside the pier. Prince Arthur, who had ridden down from the Ranger's house in Green wich Park (attended by Major Elphinstone, R.A.), then stepped on board and spent a few minutes with the Prince and Princess previously to their coming on deck. On their appearance soon after at the head of the gang way they were received by General Warde, C. 8., commanding the garrison, attended by his aide-de. camp, Captain Williams ; Major Ord, Acting. Major of Brigade ; Captain Nangle, Deputy-Assis tant- Quartermaster. General ; Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., and his secretary, Mr. Ponsonby ; Capt. Gor. don, Superintendent of the Store Department ; Lieutenant-Colonel Clerk,Lieutenant- Colonel Shaw, and Captain Boyle, superintending officers of the Royal Carriage-square; Capt. Majendie, Instruc tor Royal Laboratories, and cfficers in full dress uniforms. Their Royal Highnesses both shook hands cordially with General Warde, and hav ing remained some minutes in conversation on the maindeck of the ship, they were escorted by the officers above named to their carriages at the entrance to the pier. Both the Prince and Princess appeared in excellent health,and graciously acknow ledged the salutations of numbers of spectators who had assembled on the landing.place. A Royal salute was fired from the flagship Fisgard on the °Anne's being sighted in the offing at Woolwich, and the Royal standard was hoisted on the arsenal flagstaff, but no other demonstrations were observed in conse quence of an official order from the War Department desiring that the reception should be "as quiet as possible" by the Prince's special desire. They were attended by Mrs. Grey, Lieut.aGeneral Knollys, Colonel Keppel, and D. Minter (Inspector• General of Hospitals and Fleets), and a large number of ser vants. Their Royal Highnesses, accompanied by Mrs. Grey, left Woolwich in the first carriage, and drove direct to London, and the remainder followed:; the luggage being conveyed in a couple of spacious fourgone. The Osborne is under orders to replenish with fuel at the dockyard and afterwards proceed to Portsmouth. Sir F. KELLY, in seconding the motion, said it was im • possible for him to express his gratification in meeting on such an occasion by far the most illustrious member of the bar of France known to the present generation—in seeing an individual who being a native of that country in which great changes had taken place within the memory of all of us—in its Government, in its constitution, and in its des tiny—had ever remained faithful to the purest principles of liberty, and to the independence of the bar and the people. (Cheers) They also saw before them a very eminent and able member of the French bar—one who had by the members of his profession been elected to the high and honourable office of baionnticr of the bar of France, M. Desmarest, whose reputation was not only good and brilliant in his o wn country, but had spread throughout Europe and the world. He had come amongst thaw to show his appreeiation of the bar of England —it was not the first time—and to declare, as he hoped he would have an opportunity of doing to morrow, that amongst the members of the English bar and the bgr of France, as well as of every bar throughout Europe, the principles of liberty and independence prevailed—that there was no substantial difference of opinion between them, and that they were all united together by a spirit of fraternity. He therefore re joiced that, under the presidency of their illustrious leader, Lord Brougham, thy should once, at least, in his great career be honoured by the presence of such eminent per sonages. The hon. and learned gentleman then spoke in terms of praise of the address of Sir J. Wilde at York, and said they could not hope for any success in the codification of the law until they had settled upon some satisfactory principle for the complete consolidation of the statutes. He expressed himself in favour of allowing the counsel for tho defence in criminal cases to sum up the evidence, and of other reforms in the law which he hoped would soon be carried into effect. After a few words from Mr. HEA.DLAM, M.P., Lord BROUGHAM quite agreed with the Attorney-General that it was not to bo expected he should express opinions on that occasion upon the various points in the address of the association. Indeed, no opinions wero expressed in the ad dress, it being simply a statement of the different subjects which required consideration; and he doubted whether any one would question that they did require coneideration. He was struck with one or two things, and partially the changes in the decisions of the courts and the authority of the de cisions. He well remembered a most distinguished gentle man answering a question of his—whether the case of Thompson v. Jackson was now reckoned an authority. His answer was, that it was a good authority in every case in which the plaintiff's name was Thompson and the defend•. ant's name was Jackson, but that it would not go much farther. (Laughter.) Something was said about the impor. taut attempt repeatedly made to extend the measure allow ing the admission of the parties to give evidence in civil cases to criminal cases, where the party tendered himself and wished to be examined, and where, of course, he would be subjected to a sifting cross-examination. That any one should be compelled to be cross-examined, and particu larly cross-examinei by a judge with all the information before him, and with every other means for cross-examina tion, as in Fl ance—and this was one of the very worst parts of the French criminal procedure—to any provision of that kind ho would be strenuously opposed; but he thought the accused in a criminal case might be examined under the circumstances he had mentioned. The noble lord concluded by expressing his pleasure at the meeting being attended by the distinguished visitors who had honoured them with their presence. Princess Louis of Hesse. The following is the latest bulletin issued re specting the Princess Alice : " Her Royal Highness the Princess Louis is now completely convalescent, and, as well as the young princess, is in good health. No more daily bulle tins will now be issued. " Dr. PRIESTLEY. " Dr. WEB ER. " Darmstadt, Nov. 4, 1864." A communication, dated on Saturday last, con• firms this official announcement, and states that the princess had passed a good night. Her royal highness had received visits from the Prince and Princess of Wales, on their way through Germany ; and from Prince Alfred, who had traw yelled to Darmstadt from Bonn, where he is at pre sent residing for the purpose of completing his studies. The motion for the adoption of the report was then una nimou,ly agreed to. Foreign Courts. BERLIN, Nov. 6. M. BERRYER (Who spoke in French, and was loudly cheered) said he was much indebted to Lord Brougham for having introduced him to such an assembly, and that he had listened with admiration—and even with a certain jea lousy—to the discussion that bad taken place upon the amendment of the law. He concluded by olaiming the honour of becoming a member of the association, (Cheers.) M. DESMAREST, Who was also warmly greeted, said he hoped to-morrow t o address another assem bl y i n h i s o wn language; but h e asked permission, in the f am i liar meeting of that evenin g, t o spea k a littl e English.

But that night he profited by their indulgence; and as he did not speak in his native lan guage he had a chance of not being completely understood by that meat dangerous sweetness which could cross-exa mine him it he spoke in French, (Laughter.) Among the things which Sir Fitzroy -ally had said, what particularly t o uched him was his allusion to the international sympathy which existed between the members of the bar in different countries. He accepted that, for the feeling was in his heart.

The King, the princes, and the members of the Russian Embassy were present at his Majesty's departure. Prince Gortschakoff, who had had several conferences with M. Bismarck, re turned to St. Petersburg on the previous day. VIENNA, Nov. 3. The Augsburg Gazdie states that the departure of Lord Bloomfield from Vienna, on three months' leave of absence, during the late political crisis, has given rise to much astonishment. The departure was so sudden that a mem ber of the English embassy, at Munich, was telegraphed for to take charge of affairs, as the first secretary at Vienna was ill. The well known cause of his lordship's hasty de parture, however, was the condition of Lady Bloomfield, who, it is stated, was suffering frcm a chest complaint. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough House yesterday shortly after their arrival. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will shortly honour the Earl and Countess of Derby by his Com pany at Knowsley Park, Lancashire. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who came to town on. Saturday from Kimbolton Castle, Hunts, left yesterday for Knowsley Park, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Duchess of Somerset and Lady Gwendoline St. Maur have left the Admiralty for Bulstrode Park, Bucks. The Duke of Roxburghe has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel irom Floors Castle. Prince P. Wittgenstein and Count Demidoff have arrived at Long'e Hotel. The Earl and Countess of Wilton were to leave Heaton Hall yesterday to join a party visiting the Earl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley Park. The Eirl and Countess Spencer are residing at St. Leonardo, and not receiving company at Althorp " Toni THUMB" is about to visit England with his wife and child. MR. HERBERT, R.A., left England for the East on Saturday last, It is his intention, it is said, to remain there some months, with a view to collect materials for the execution of other works of a similar character to that which has excited so much admiration in the Peers' Robing Room. Mr Herbert is accompanied by his son, "Wilfred himself an artist of considerable promise. AMONG MR MILLAIS'S CONTRIBUTIONS to the forthcoming Exhibition of the Royal Academy will be an oil picture of, the design which formed so valuable a part of his illustrations to " The Parables," representing the "Devil sowing Tares"; also a picture having for subject Mr Tennyson's " Oh, swallow, swallow, flying south." The former will form the artist's diploma picture at the Royal Academy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF A GANG OF UTTERERS OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.-Wm. Bolter, of Thrawl-street, Spitalfields, shoe maker; Wm. Richardson, of Dean-street, Fetter-lane, shoemaker; and John Byrne, of Harp-court, Farringdon street, who described himself as a " professional singer," were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with conspiring together and knowingly uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mr Wm. Darlington, of the Golden Lion, 42, Wardour• street, Soho; also with uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mrs Maria Jackson, wife of Mr Jackson, of the Crown, 355, Oxford-street ; and with uttering another counterfeit halt-crown piece to Mr Braddick, 422, Oxford street. Mr Darlington said—Last night a little before 6 o'clock the prisoners came into my house and called for half a guar tern of gin. Bolter threw down a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, 2s 30. Richardson took out his pocket-book and said he had an appointment with a gentle mad. I then looked at the coin, and finding it was a coun terfeit, I said, "You had better give me change back as the coin is counterfeit." Bolter gave me book the change, but said he had more change, and he did not want to change a sovereign. Richardson said he had 20, and gave it to me, and the prisoners then left, taking the counterfeit hall-crown with them, but which I had marked. I followed them into Oxford-street, where they parted and: joined again under the , portico of the Pantheon, I then saw a constable and told him what I had seen, and directly after the prisoners went into another publichouse, and on finding that they had passed the coun terfeit half-crown there, they were directly taken into custody. Mrs Maria Jackson said—Richardson and Bolter came into our house yesterday evening, and Bolter called for half a quar tern of gin. I served them, and Richardson gave me a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, not suspecting the coin was bad. As soon as the prisoners left Mr Darlington came in and spoke to me, and I then found the coin was bad. Bolter had been in the house a second time, and passed a counterfeit two shilling piece to the barmaid in payment of half a quartern of gin. Mr Braddick said—Yesterday evening about eight Bolter came into my shop and took a loaf out of the window and tendered me a half-crown piece in payment. Just as I was giving Bolter change Richardson came in and took off my attention, and having been ill for a long time I was off my guard. I put the coin in the till, and directly the prisoners left I found it was bad. Joseph Smith, 327 A, proved following and watching tho prisoners for Born° time, accompanied by Mr Darling ton, and subsequently, with Pratt, 311 A, taking them into custody. Pratt, 311 A, said on searching Byrne ho found a coun terfeit half-crown in his possession. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners for the attentance of the Mint authorities. THAMES. A MISTAIL—A poor and decent woman, who was much agitated, and who gave the name of Anne Frances Mackenzie, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. A police-constable, No. 181 K, stated that at two o'clock this morning he found the prisoner of retched on the ground in Sutton-street, St. George-in-the. East. She was quite insensible, and he concluded she was dead drunk, and con• veyed her to th e station-house. She continued cold and senseless. She was put before the fire and warmed, and the inspector and himself chafed her hands and revived her. Siva had two or three fits, and the divisional surgeon of police was hastily summoned, who prescribed for her, and said she was not intoxicated, but ill, and subject to epileptic fits. He ordered her removal to the workhouse, and she had just left there to answer the charge— Mr Paget—Not of drunkenness. She was not drunk. No, Sir, it was a mistake. She was treated kindly at the station-house, and we paid her every attention. Mr Paget—l am glad to hear it. It is a very natural mistake indeed. She can go back to the workhouse. Witness—She has a home to go to. She is a very respect able woman and works in a pickling warehouse. The prisoner —I am subject to fits. lam very glad he did find me. Mr Paget—lt was very fortunate for you the policeman did find you. You ought to be much obliged to him. The prisoner then left the court. The Yarmouth Beachmen and the Lifeboat. The following communication has been addressed by the secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution to a contem porary, in reply to some comments by it on the recent dis creditable conduct of the Yarmouth beachmen in refusing to go off in the lifeboat to the rescue of the crew of the wrecked steamer Ontario on the Hasborough Sands : As you invite, by your interrogatives, some replies on the system of management of the lifeboats at Yarmouth, I trust you will insert the following remarks on that subject. The lifeboat system which has hitherto prevailed there has been rather peculiar, There are, I believe, at that port between 200 and 300 beachmen. These are divided into six or seven companies, each company comprising from 30 to 40 men. These companies are banded together in some thing like a union, so that one company cannot undertake to work the lifeboat without the sanction of the rest. Hitherto the practice has been that one company under takes to work the lifeboat during a year, at the end of which period the boats are shifted to the charge of another corn pany. Again, when the lifeboats are launched to the help of a shipwrecked crew the men who have actually gone off in the lifeboat are compelled, by their own private rules, to share their reward with those " who have tarried at home to divide the spoil." It is clear, therefore, that there can be no great induce ment among men so situated for individual exertion or risk of life in cases of shipwreck. As the Young company had undertaken to work the life boat for a year, Mr Butcher, the local honorary secretary of the institution, had a reasonable right to expect that the beachmen would, at his direction, man the lifeboat on the 19th ult., and particularly as the men had never expressed to him any dissatisfaction with the institution, The question, then, naturally arises, can such a state of things be remedied ? It can only be brought about by the good sense of the beachmen themselves ; and it is hoped that on further consideration by the parent and branch Lifeboat Institutions a better plan than that which has hitherto ob tained at Yarmouth for manning the lifeboats will be adopted. Indeed, two of the companies have already con sented constantly to work the small surf lifeboat, which is intended to render assistance to the crews of vessels wrecked close to the shore. But the large lifeboat, 40ft long, is exclusively employed for sailing, and is nearly unmanageable in rough weather under oars, She is engaged to go off to the rescue of the crews of vessels wrecked on the numerous outlying sand banks, some of which are many miles from Yarmouth. In 1857 the two Yarmouth lifeboats were brought into connexion. with this instituti.m. Since then the large life boat has saved six lives from the brig Zephyr, of Whitby. The boat was towed out by a steamer. It was a noble ser vice, and the Yarmouth beachmen showed then what they oould do in such cases. For that service the lifeboat's crew received from the institution £23, and £2O was also given to the steamer. This same lifeboat has also gone off since 1857 to 13 other vessels in distress, but the services of the boat on these occasions wore happily not required, because the vessels had either got out of danger or their crews had been rescued by other means. For these latter services the men received altogether from the National Lifeboat Institu tion £l4l lOs tad. Again, it should be stated that during the past six years their small surf lifeboat has saved 26 shipwrecked persons, and that fur these and other services the institution has paid the men .CB6 16s. In conclusion, I trust you will allow me to add a few words on the general system of management on the coast of this society's lifeboats. With the exception of those at one or two places, our boatmen and fishermen, be it said to their great credit, are ever ready in cases of emergency to man - the lifeboats of the institution. It is true that the lifeboats are the first of their class, that their crews have the utmost confidence in their qualities, and that, in addition to the inexpressible satisfaction of aiding to save a fellow-creature from a pre mature death, the crews are new certain of a stipulated amount for their laudable services. Their pecuniary rewards for such services consist of 108 to each man comprising the lifeboat's crew for day service, and 20s per man for night daty, those rewards being totally irrespective of the num ber of lives saved as you supposed. Indeed, it occasionally happens that the lifeboat puts off sometimes during a midnight storm to a vessel which was showing signals of distress. By the time the lifeboat has arrived at the spot the vessel has got out of danger. The lifeboat's crew are, of course, paid precisely the same as if their boat had returned freighted with a shipwrecked crow. In the report of the meeting of this institution in the news papers of this day it will be seen that the crew of the Teign mouth lifeboat received £l3 for saving one man. On the recommendation of the local committee the lifeboat crews are paid double the amount of the usual scale if they incur extraordinary risk or exposure, either in saving or attempt ing to save life ; and in the event of a fatal accident occur ring to a lifeboatman it has been the practice for the insti tution immediately to undertake to make temporary provi sion for his widow or those dependent on him. As soon as the return of the service is received at the institution a chock to pay the men is usually sent off by that night's pest. Altogether the system of manning the society's lifeboats has hitherto worked admirably on the coast, the men thoroughly understanding the nature of their implied con tract with the institution. Last year the boat aware manned on all by about 6,000 men, and providentially not a life was lost from them. Wherever a lifeboat has been established the object of the National Lifeboat Institution is by means of the quarterly exercise of the boat, to accustom the ablest boatmen or fishermen of the place to its use in cases of shipwreck. These are all volunteers, for it would be absolutely imprac ticable to keep throughout the yegr so large a body of men in the permanent pay of any charitabl e i ns tit u ti on , in addi tion to the fact that in the event of any member of a puma nc;nt paid crew on an emergency being absent from illness, or any other cause, it would perhaps be difficult to supply his place.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD LEWIS, Secretary, Royal National Lifeboat Institution. 14, John-street, Adelphi, W.C., Nov. 5. The Convict Muller. Up to last evening Franz Muller, now under sentence of death in Newgate, had shown no inclination to confess the crime of which he has been convicted.:Knowing, as there is reason to believe he does, though the tact has been care fully concealed from him by the prison authorities, that efforts are being made by the German Society to procure a commutation of the sentence, his reserve occasions no surprise. The irnpress'on among the authorities is that, if he confess at all, it will not be until the very last. Yes terday, again, Mr Sheriff Bosley paid him a visit, as did also the Rev. Mr Walbaum, the minister of the German Chapel, in St. James's,.who has spent some time with him daily since his conviction. The convict also attended the service is the chapel. lie has always shown a disposition to profit by the religious consolation which has been offered him since he received sentenc.‘, but in other respects he his been reserved, cold, and unimpressional9le, without in the least, however, being disrespectful to those about him. As early as 7 o'clecle yesterday morning the members of the German Legal Protecti Society are said to have had a meeting at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, for the purpose of settling the draught of the memorial they mean to pre sent to the Home Secretary. Before separating the memorial was unanimously adopted, and they resolved to forward it to Sir George Grey on Wednesday morning. In the meantime a Special Committee of the Society are publishing an elaborate report, describing minutely the whole of the stops they have taken from first to last to clear up what they regard as the mystery attending the murder, and particularly to ascertain the movements of the prisoner about the time of its commission, and how he came into possession of the watch and chain of Mr Briggs. It is, in fact, the whole story of the defence told over again, and embodying besides statements which were not legally ad missible in evidence on the trial, but which they regard as throwing additional light upon the matter, and justifying the course they took in defending him. Adverting to the alai, they say— " The distance from Stanley Cottage was measured, and it was ascertained that, taking into consideration all circum stances—as for instance, the lameness of Muller—it would take 20 to 25 minutes to walk from the house to Camberwell gate. The journey by omnibus to King William-street, after riding at different times and in different omni buses, was found to take 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore, supposing the statements of the Joneses and of Muller in New York to be true, Muller, after having left Stanley Cottage at half-past 9 o'clock, could not have been in King William-street before 10 minutes or a quarter past 10, con sequently could not possibly have been the perpetrator or abettor of the murder in the railway carriage at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock." They relate the following as the account given by Muller himself to a member of their body and to Mr Beard, their solicitor, at the Bow-street Folice-station on the same evening he arrived in London from New York : " After the exchange of some kind words and a solemn exhortation to adhere strictly to the truth, Muller declared that on Saturday evening the Bth of July he had left his friend Haifa at Mr Repsch's house, where he had had tea, and had taken an omnibus at the corner of Fenchurch street and Gracechurch-street for Carubarwell. Ho had been lame at the time in consequence of his having been run over on the Thursday, and therefore wore a red carpet slip per on his right foot. Near the gate he had left the omnibus to walk to a house in George-street, Camberwell, New-road, He declined to give the address of the house. On coming back he had had a glass of ale at a pu'Aio house on the left side. before coining to the gate, from the Elephant and Castle, and had entered into conversation with the bar keeper. The house was about 200 yards from the toll-gate, and could be recognised by its standing for ward and being bounded by two streets. There always were sh3eblack boys in front of it. The bar-keeper was a young man of average siza, with dark hair, whis kers, and a beard on his chin. By this description it must be easy to recognise him. After half-past 10, to his belief, he had left Camberwell-gate in an orange omnibus had ridden to the Monument in King William-street, anti walked from there to the Bank, in order to take his omni bus from Threadneele-street to Hackney. As it already had left, he had walked home to Old Ford-road, and reached it about half-past 11. His landlady and the other lodgers had already gone to bed. Oa his way home he did net meet with any friend or acquaintance, nor did he call anywhere, The omnibus from Camberwell to Icing William-et., con tained besides him four persons—an old gentleman with dark hair and dark whiskers, two young ladies, and a little girl. The conductor was of average height, wore a hat and a long coat which had no buttons at the Lack. His face was small, dark, and pock-marked ; he wore a white and black chequered neckerchief. When he entered the omnibus, a brown dog, which was flying at a boy in the street opposite the publichouse, caused a crowd." On the all-important subject of the hat, proved at the trial to have been that of Mr Briggs, the committee says : " Tho hat which had been found in his possession at New I York he had bought, between May 14 and 20, at the shop of Mr Digance, for 14s 6d, Ho remembered the occasion very well, because at the same time, as ho used to do at Whitsun tide, he had bought a new suit. The two Repsches must remember this, as they had seen him in his new suit. lie left the hat Mathews had bought for him at the shop. The lining of this hat was dark and had blue stripes." In connection with this story, it should be borne in mind that Mr Digance's shopman, of whom the prisoner must have bought the hat, if he bought it there at all, seeing that Mr Digance never sold him a hat, and that he has only one shopman, a person who has been with him for the last 12 years, has been confronted with the prisoner in his cell since his conviction, in the presence of Mr Beard, and that on the one hand Muller failed to recognise him, and on the other the shopman said he had no recollection of having seen him before. The committee proceed to say:— "With regard to the watch and chain, Muller declared he had left the house of Mr Repsch at about ten minutes to 8, had gone to Mr Hodgkinson to see Haffa, had not found him (vide the statements of Haifa and Mr Hodgkinson's foreman), and had then immediately gone towards the Lon eon Docks in order to enquire about the time of sailing, and if possible to take his ticket at the same time. He arrived at the docks at half-past 8. He found a German porter in the office near the ship Victoria, bat as he could not get his ticket he was about to leave the docks again. About 100 yards from the office, in the passage to the warehouses, a pedlar offered him a watch and chain for sale. He held these things in his hand, and took some rings and chains and another watch from his coat pocket. The pedlar was of middle height, had a small face with prominent cheek bones, brown whiskers, and close-shaved skin; he had a small cut or scar on his lip, and wore a Melton morning coat. When the things were offered to him for £6 he had only £4 and three halt-crowns in his pocket. The seller of the things refused to aocept £4, and Muller went on, but came back on the second thought that the watch and chain must be worth more, because the £4 were reused by Lite paler, and might make a good bargain, and °flared three halt-crowns-7s 6d— more, The pedlar took the offer. While on his way home, and calculating how by the sale or pawning of the things bought he might make a profit so as to be able to redeem his own watch and chain, which he had pawned some weeks ago in Whitechapel, and of the value of which —he was fully aware, he was disturbed by the thought that the things bought might be not real gold or valueless. He at once determined to ga to Mr Death's in Cheapside, and by changing the chain as certain its value and that of the watch." The words in italics are so put bp the committee. " After Muller had spent his money in purchasing the watch and chain, he resolved to pawn the chain he had ex , changed. He got £1 10s in the Minories, and sold the ticket to his friend Han for 12s. Thus he became possessed of .C 2 2s. From a mark he thought the watch he bought at the docks a valueble one, and determined to keep it. With the £2 he redeemed his own watch which he had pawned at the Minories, and asked his friend for the loan of £l, in order to redeem the chain also, and then on Wednesday morning pawn both together at the Wes L-end for a higher price. He received £4 in Princes-street, and sold the ticket, as proved, to Glass for £1 ss, The one pound lent waf deducted. Besdee, he received from Mr Repsch, who owed him £1 2s, 14s; from Mr Mathews, 3s Gd; for a coat he pawned, Gs. With the money thus acquired he bought on Wednesday his passage-ticket for Li, a mattress for 7s 63, and pail is porterage. The 12s found upon him at New York he got by the sale of a coat and a pair of trousers, When asked why, at his arrest at New York, he had told a lie about the watch, he declared that nothing but the sur prise and fright of the moment had induced him to do so. With regard to the hat, he said Inspector Clarke must be mistaken, as the minutes of his examination at New York could easily prove; only with regard to the watch he had told an untruth." these are the more material parts of a document extend ing over three columns of an ordinary newspaper, and which is described as " Part first," the rest being to follow. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Honicoopathie practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homccopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt lined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice.

Epps, of L ondon, Homeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his atention to this subject, and at length he succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the fir s t to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it rczeives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful bre:di:last beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. llassall, in his work "Adulteration of Food," says -" ocoa con wins a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the growth aad sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutri tive, cocoa 'stands very much higher than e:ther coffee or tea." Directions —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a bretikfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined ;lb., flb., and 11b. labelled packets, a d sold by groc2rs, ouiectiotte:e, and chemists. - [A.DvT.] SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.
